The semivariogram provides a visual assessment of spatial dependence but without directly resulting in a single numerical value that expresses the measurement of such dependence. However, from the estimated parameters of the theoretical model adjusted to the experimental semivariogram, it is possible to construct a measure of this spatial dependence. Currently, there are two indices in literature that are widely used; however, these indices show some gaps. The aim of this study was to propose a new index to measure […]
